Aldaris Porteris

I am partial to this one, since my wife is from Latvia. I’ve had this on several occasions in the country of origin. This one reminds me of a sweet malted milk shake and some coffee grounds thrown in, some dark prunish fruits as well and some herbalness, dark brown almost opaque and it attains an immediate 3 finger sticky head, settles to a fine layer of soapy lace, flavors are dark fruits, malted chocolate, some bitter coffee and herbs, palate is pretty thick, somewhat syrupy... I’ve drank a lot of these so I must like it. Give it a try.

16.9oz bottle, batch nr. 008. Pours deep brown in color with full foamy brwon head. Aroma sweet, caramel, malt and some chocolate. Taste caramel, roasted malt and coffee with bitter finish.
